Do you know the three characters before you do the transformation or are you looking to determine which groups of elements have the same three characters while the transformation is taking place?

In the former case, you can pass the three-character string as a parameter to the transformation, as in:

<xsl:parameter name="match-key" select="" />

Suppose you passed "010" as the value of the parameter, then this will do what you describe:

<xsl:value-of select="sum(elementlist/value[substring(c,1,3)=$match-key]/a)" />

If you don't know the value in advance, and therefor cannot pass it in as a parameter, then you will have to use keys to select the nodes. That's beyond a simple explanation, and given my relatively rare use of the key()  and generate-id() functions, beyond my capacity to offer a complex explanation in a short period of time. There are may references to these functions on this list's archives. If this is what you need, then perhaps someone more familiar with this approach will offer advice.

hi,
"elementlist/value/c" are unique over both elementlists(aktif and pasif).
i would like to sum over all whose "elementlist/value/c" values` first 3 characters have the same value. if this is not feasible, i can also supply his value in the XML as another field. i.e."elementlist/value/first3"

regards.

Are you saying that you wish to sum all the values of "elementlist/value/a" where "elementlist/value/c" = "010"? Do you want to sum across all "elementlist" elements or only the ones where "elementlist/key" has a specific value?

thanks for your answers (david and cknell)
i would like to learn if i can make some operations on the values of one field.i.e. take the total of some elements'(<value> in my XML) X values(<a> in my XML file) and write these totals. Also some elements are chose according to the value of some field.(<c> in my XML file) That is; take the total of all elements whose some value is SAME. Then write this into the XSL.

thanks in advance.
also i will greatly appreciate any help if you can guide me a nice tutorial on thse subjects.

best regards.

The precise form of the XPath depends on the document context from which you invoke it.  Let's assume that your document's root element is <lists></lists> and that all the <elementlist></elementlist> are its direct descendants. In this case, 
<xsl:value of select="/lists/elementlist[key='aktif']/value[1]/e" /> will return "KASA".

hi,

i am a newbie on this list. i work with FOP and i must prepare an XSL file for my XML file. My XML file contains two elements with different keys, i.e.:

 <elementlist xsi:type="java:org.exolab.castor.mapping.MapItem">
  <key xsi:type="java:java.lang.String">aktif</key> 
 <value xsi:type="java:com.oreilly.hh.QueryTestXML$XMLDovizElement">
  <a>17100</a> 
  <b>746.00</b> 
  <c>010</c> 
  <d>17130900000.00</d> 
  <e>KASA</e> 
  <f>74854930157246.00</f> 
  <g>1</g> 
  <h>1</h> 
  </value>
     <value>
    .
